# nodegroupdefine(8) - Define new confluent node group

## SYNOPSIS

`nodegroupdefine <groupname> [<nodeattribute1=value1> <nodeattribute2=value2> ...]`

## DESCRIPTION

`nodegroupdefine` allows the definition of a new nodegroup for the confluent management service. It may only define a single group name at a time. It has the same syntax as `nodegroupattrib(8)`, and the commands differ in that `nodegroupattrib(8)` will error if a node group does not exist.

## EXAMPLES

- Create a group called `compute`: `# nodegroupdefine compute`  
  `compute: created`
